Another artist that appeared in the Material World exhibit at MassMoCA is Wade Kavanaugh and his collaborator Stephen Nguyen. They make absolutely awesome and massive installation pieces out of craft paper mostly. The above looks like a big red forest! Wade seems to individually work more with building materials like sheet rock, plywood and studs. […]

My brother’s friend Neil told me that he was going to Mass MoCA yesterday basically just to rub it in. He sent me the link to the show he was going to see, Material World: Sculpture to Environment, which looked amazing and was right up my alley. Many of the artists in the show I […]

I can’t find out too much about Erika from the Erikaceous blog but I do know that I love what she has created out of toilet paper rolls, which I discovered, via my brother, via Neatorama, today! So many people are doing such neat things with papercutting, many of which I’ve written about, but this […]

As a result of this blog and the work I’m doing over at the Yurt Alert, sometimes people reach out to me! These people are often other wonderful fiber arts experimenting in the medium somehow. This happened just last week when I got an invitation from Jennifer Raish, who has a show up, right now, […]

I learned about Yii when my brother sent me a link from MAKE of their brick and mortar bowls, below, but upon further investigation I learned that Yii is actually an initiative by the Taiwan Craft Research Institute. Some of their other pieces, in addition to the bowls, are out of this world — and […]

This amazing artist came via my brother who was reading the BLDGBLOG a while ago and sent it to me. Last month I was largely in Morocco with a non-profit, Nest, that I volunteer with but now I’m back and have several great artists to post on. Shannon lives and works in Maine, not far […]

So clearly I’ve been stockpiling a few artists to post for the last few weeks as I’ve been busy on the yurt but Ann Weber is one that really complements that work too! Ann Weber works in cardboard — after years of working in ceramics she decided to built huge pieces out of cardboard as […]

DudeCraft, Make and my brother, Michael all showed me the work of Baptiste Debombourg this week and I had to share. Similar to Ray Hwang, who makes use of straight pins and buttons to create wall art, Baptiste uses another common element, staples, to achieve larger images on walls. Like work in pen or pointilism […]

I feel like for this blog I have all sorts of people sending me wonderful artists that they think I might like — sometimes it’s a hit and sometimes it’s a miss but it’s turned out to be a great way to keep in touch with people. Neil, a friend of mine through my brother, […]

Another epic discovery over at Lost at E Minor today was their recently featured emerging artist that goes by one name, Jim. While the name is nondescript his work certainly is not. He creates skull-based works that incorporate fibers, found object like tea bags, what looks like plastic cording, paint, etc. I can’t even really […]
